Fallout: New Vegas Companions Revealed

If you're heading into the Mojave Wasteland, you'll need some back-up. There are eight different characters you can recruit as companions in Fallout: New Vegas and Bethesda revealed all of them today.

Full bios for each of the companions, written by senior producer Jason Bergman, be found at PlayStation.Blog. Be warned that the bios contain a few spoilers. Check out the screenshots of each NPC below if you don't want to be exposed to the game's story prematurely.

The companions display the sort of diversity you'd expect from Fallout games. Among the possible henchmen you can recruit are a super mutant, ghoul, and cyborg dog. You'll be able to have one humanoid and one non-humanoid companion at a time.
